Dear Eagle Nation:
The 2022 Midterm Election is set for tomorrow, November 8. Many of us will have an opportunity to exercise our right and responsibility to vote, and I encourage everyone who can, to participate in this important process.
There are many people who were long-denied the opportunity to have their voices heard, and interests represented at any level of government. Even now, there are efforts to undermine and discourage engagement in the voting process.
| |
I am proud to see our students, faculty, and staff rallying around issues that matter to them and engaging with one another in meaningful ways. Our choices will have short-term and long-term consequences, impacting our quality of life as individuals and as a university community.
Please, do not take your right and responsibility to vote for granted. There were many people, throughout history, who sacrificed themselves and their freedom, to make this possible.
